West Ham seek points tonight against Pep Guardiola’s aspiring Premier League championship-chasing side. The Citizens go into this encounter knowing any further slip-ups will likely end their chase of leaders Arsenal.

From the old Bobby Moore Upper to the Billy Bonds' stand these days - sometimes- have to admit I have not renewed my season ticket... I've been watching since '03 and a supporter since about 1970..

Pulling on a Claret and Blue replica shirt still makes me feel the same butterflies as when I was seven years old. Magic.
